The sense of smell, or olfaction, is the only one among the options that does not primarily route through the thalamus before reaching the appropriate cortical areas. Instead, olfactory information is directly transmitted to the olfactory bulb and then to other brain regions without the relay through the thalamus that is typical for other sensory information.
